After we submitted our 4th annual report that was due in April, I think we receive an email a few days later about our site visit window. I think the visit window was from July to January 2023. We asked for the window to be extended, because of the many changes at our site to give us more time to prepare for the visit.
My big take-away from this is start when you submit the 3rd annual report make sure all your evidence is current and in order.
Great Feedback Deanna it also helpful for me as well.

Hello Brenda,
Congratulations on pursuing reaccreditation. After you submit your 4th annual report, you will receive an email to supply information about your program to the assessor. Then are you given a 6 month window in which they will come. Have you submitted your 4th annual report? And does your dashboard say you were assigned to an assesor? If not, then you should try to work on our portfolios to get them completed asap.
Reach out to NAEYC if you have questions about this.

Hello Everyone,
Our Early Learning Program is scheduled for re-accreditation October of 2023. The staff is overwhelmed due to the loss of two directors within the last five years. Also, the wait for a new hire to fill the vacant director's position.
We remember the process back five years ago but we also have several new staff. Feeling unsettled!
Consequently, we need guidance for the next step.
Because, we take pride in our present accreditation.
Sincerely,
Brenda Thompson
